Hi Marty! Wow, that's a lot of views! Well, I can see why - I love your kitchen. It's fun to look back at your posts and I remember each one. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I'm looking forward to blogging with you next year.Be a sweetie,Shelia ;)

Hi Marty! I enjoyed seeing your most popular posts. You are really a busy lady decorating and changing things around! I am taking down my decorations now and it is taking longer than I expected! I'm like you in wanting to get it up early, then ready to take it down as soon as possible! LOL! I like what you are doing with adding gray and silver. Not sure what I'll do once my undecorating is over!
